We drilled our holes for our 'bags on the drill press, which were drilled half-way down the bars for a 2:1 ratio.  31. We cut out two 'bag mounts...  31. We cut out two 'bag mounts that looked good, then drilled our 'bag-mount holes, and used the hole saw to make our fitting hole.  32. We knew that our 'bags...  32.

For our upper bars, we used 1 1/4x120 wall tubing. Steve took the bars down to Bio Kustumz and used their tubing bender to get them nice and curved to clear our 'bag mounts.

We checked our fit before tacking.  38. Here it is, the finished...  38. Here it is, the finished product. It's now ready to be torn apart to be fully welded. We're also ready to head to the FFF show and show off what we had accomplished in less than a week. Stay tuned to see what else we did in this week, including the body-drop.
